Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 144: Chapter 119: Are We Really About to Clear the Level Already?

After entering the three-kilometer zone of the central tower, there were no ordinary Corpse Demons.

At last night’s operational meeting, Chu Xiu overheard a lot of useful information.

In recent days, the government has continuously released many reconnaissance missions near the central area, and it is now basically confirmed that the surrounding area of the central tower is occupied by three Fierce Tier Elites.

These are the monstrous bird Corpse Demon nesting at the top of the tower, the massive Royal Corpse Demon guarding the tower’s entrance, and the mutated Corpse Demon lurking in the sewers like a tumor.

Each of these three Fierce Tier Elites is not alone, but leads an entire group, perfectly guarding the air, ground, and underground of the tower, making them extremely difficult to deal with. They have become key research targets for government analysts and advisors.

The current preliminary plan is to lure the monsters using various traps and heavy weapons to reduce their numbers before attempting to conquer the Fierce Tier Elites.

However, this stage is extremely challenging, especially for the Awakened responsible for luring the monsters, who are very likely to suffer casualties. Therefore, it was decided to take two to three days to fully prepare before gradually tackling this problem in stages.

Meanwhile, Chu Xiu recalled his conversation with the Tongue last night.

Yesterday, while resting and restoring energy, Chu Xiu as usual fed the Tongue a piece of Perfect equipment.

The response he received this time was: ”Only by collecting three keys can the door be opened.”

Another meaningless statement made Chu Xiu begin to consider whether to give up on this task altogether to avoid greater losses.

But then he suddenly thought that the three keys might directly correspond to the three Fierce Tier Elites, possibly hinting at some connection?

”Anyway, they need to be killed eventually, trying won’t hurt.”

Chu Xiu checked his mana, and with nearly half remaining, it should be enough.

With over two thousand Cause and Effect Points, Chu Xiu decided to level up Mist Step again, bringing it to the Perfect Realm.

Although with Chu Xiu’s terrifying Constitution, this Secret Technique didn’t help as much as before, it still provided some assistance under the effects of many magic enhancements.

Boosting his combat power to the maximum, Chu Xiu didn’t think further and led the Demon army in a mighty advance toward the central tower.

...

Chu Xiu’s actions naturally caught the attention of the Awakened trailing behind him, scavenging for opportunities.

”Is the Dark Night Monarch leading his Corpse legion toward the central tower?”

”Could he be challenging the Corpse King?!”

”It’s hard to say if he’s challenging the Corpse King, but judging by his route, it seems he’s heading straight for the Royal Corpse Demon guarding the entrance!”

The so-called Royal Corpse Demon is just a nickname given by the Awakened, as these Corpse Demons wear heavy Bone Armor, hold shields in their left hands and axes in their right, and are extremely bulky, each being over five meters tall, with the Fierce Tier Elite approaching ten meters! They appear much like the royal guards of the Corpse King.

These Royal Corpse Demons have incredibly strong combat power, and even the Dark Night Monarch may not be able to take them down!

Without hesitation, the Awakened quickly reported the Dark Night Monarch’s movements to the command center, which naturally caused a sensation, prompting many High Tier Awakened to cease their Corpse Demon clearing actions and come nearby to watch.

”The Dark Night Monarch is very strong indeed, but can he overcome an entire elite group?” Ye Junlin frowned, staring at the imposing Demon army in the distance.

”According to the command center’s analysis, it seems unlikely,” the chief analyst said while flipping through thick documents, ”These past two days we’ve released many reconnaissance missions about the Fierce Tier Elite groups, and feedback indicates that each group is of great size!”

”Like the Royal Corpse Demon group, apart from the Leader, there are four Fierce Tiers, over thirty Warrior Tiers, and over a hundred ordinary ones!”

”More terrifyingly, under the Leader’s influence, these Corpse Demons have mutated, gaining additional Traits bonuses, making them significantly stronger than those of the same Tier!”

”Looking at the Dark Night Monarch’s side, although the numbers are large, the elite level is insufficient, and it’s unfortunate that the High Tier combat power is greatly lacking, even with a positive estimate, there wouldn’t be more than twenty Warrior Tier, with only the Dark Night Monarch at the Fierce Tier level! Furthermore, it’s highly probable that it’s not a match for the Fierce Tier Elites!”

During this period, each move of the Dark Night Monarch has been closely observed.

Although the Dark Night Monarch’s Demon Arms are terrifying, especially against lower Fierce Tiers, appearing overwhelming, visually, the power is strong but the speed isn’t fast enough, making it harder against High Level Corpse Demons.

Based on comprehensive data, analysts do not believe the Dark Night Monarch can surpass the Fierce Tier Elites.

Yet, the chief analyst’s words did not gain everyone’s trust.

Ye Junlin sneered, skeptical: ”You said just the day before yesterday, we had a seventy percent chance to kill the Dark Night Monarch, and if we listened to you, we’d be doomed by now.”

The analyst was momentarily speechless.

At this time, Zhang Qingshan also spoke: ”Are you sure the Dark Night Monarch’s Ghostly Legion has fewer than twenty Warrior Tiers? I just took a rough glance; it seemed like there were over twenty Corpse Demons appearing as Warrior Tier.”

This statement further intensified the suspicious looks from the High Tier Awakened, and the analyst replied helplessly, ”This data... is indeed from the day before yesterday, and is a rough estimate; discrepancies are normal.”

”After all, the Dark Night Monarch’s Demons are always moving through buildings, and we can’t get too close, making it impossible to accurately count the statistics.”
